"H'm," said Rolf, "'it just shows, as old Sylvanne sez, 'this yer steel-trap, hair-trigger, cocksure jedgment don't do. An' the more a man learns, the less sure he gits. An' things as hez lasted a long time ain't liable to be on a rotten foundation." The Charm of Song With a regular tum ta tum ta, came a weird sound from the sunrise rock one morning, as Van slipped out of his cabin.
There were bitter, burning words on the lips of the rank and file, and perfunctory rebukes on the lips of the young officers when they chanced to overhear. The law was surely working out as set forth by Si Sylvanne: "The fools in command, the leaders in the ranks." And now came news of fresh disasters the battles of Beaverdam, Stony Creek, and Niagara River.
"WHEN things is looking black as black can be, it's a sure sign of luck coming your way." so said Si Sylvanne, and so it proved to Van Cortlandt The Moon of the Falling Leaves was waning, October was nearly over, the day of his return to Albany was near, as he was to go out in time for the hunters to return in open water. He was wonderfully improved in strength and looks.
Give him few days to think he safe, then I follow and settle all," and this time the Indian clearly meant to end the matter. The Subjugation of Hoag A feller as weeps for pity and never does a finger-tap to help is 'bout as much use as an overcoat on a drowning man. Sayings of Si Sylvanne.
Here, then, on the west side, where the lake enters the river, they began to clear the ground for their home. The Trappers' Cabin It's a smart fellow that knows what he can't do. Sayings of Si Sylvanne. I suppose every trapper that ever lived, on first building a cabin, said, "Oh, any little thing will do, so long as it has a roof and is big enough to lie down in."
A feller that chatters all the time is bound to talk a certain amount of drivel. The Sayings of Si Sylvanne This was the Crow Moon, the white man's March. The Grass Moon was at hand, and already the arrow bands of black-necked honkers were passing northward from the coast, sending down as they flew the glad tidings that the Hunger Moon was gone, that spring was come, yea, even now was in the land.
When dealing, old Sylvanne had a mild, quiet manner, and a peculiar way of making funny remarks that led some to imagine he was "easy" in business; but it was usual to find at the end that he had lost nothing by his manners, and rival traders shunned an encounter with Long Sylvanne of the unruffled brow.
He is the dumbest kind of a dumb fool that ain't king in some little corner. Sayings of Si Sylvanne The man who has wronged you will never forgive you, and he who has helped you will be forever grateful. Yes, there is nothing that draws you to a man so much as the knowledge that you have helped him.
So, fired at last by the evermore lurid story of his wrongs, the "partner" brought the magistrate, so they could swear out a warrant, arrest the two "outlaws," and especially secure the bundle of "Hoag's furs" in the canoe. Old Silas Sylvanne, the mill-owner and pioneer of the place, was also its magistrate.
"Nothing wrong about the notion; old Si Sylvanne offered me pretty near that, if I'd come out his way with the stuff." This had the desired effect of showing that there were other traders. At last the deal was closed. Besides the fox skin, they had three hundred dollars' worth of fur. The exchange for the fox skin was enough to buy all the groceries and dry goods they needed.
